Read the article Top 10 Reason to Hire a Home Buyers Agent that Specializes in New Homes:
Looking for a new home in the Columbia, SC area can be a stressful experience, especially for those who are building a new home. Hiring a home buyer’s agent that specializes in the purchase of new construction homes can ease much of that stress and can even save you money.
Here is a sample of the article.
Here are the top 10 reasons you should consider hiring a real estate agent:
They Save You Time and Effort
As stated before, using an agent saves you time—a lot of time. Going through the process alone means that you can only look for and set up a home purchase in your free time. If you work full-time and have a home life, that means you only have a handful of hours throughout the week to dedicate to searching for a new house online, visiting model homes, keeping track of paperwork, etc. An agent works while you work, so they can save you headaches and shave time off the process.
They’re Free to Hire
That’s right, you get a full-time agent representing your interests and sharing their knowledge, all at ZERO COST to you. They generally get paid on commission so they won’t see any of your money until you actually purchase a home. This means that you don’t have to worry about being rushed to find your perfect home and it keeps the agent honest about wanting to help you. In the case of new homes, the builder pays your agent. It doesn’t change their loyalty, it is more of a “thank you” from the builder for bringing the buyer.

The vast majority of transactions for home builders include a buyer’s agent. Never say never, but builders in the Columbia area often state they don’t change the price of a home because there’s a buyer agent involved. They don’t want to under-cut buyer agents to keep them coming back with buyers.
They Climb the Mountain of Paperwork For You
There is a lot that goes into buying a house as far as paperwork goes. Your agent can be a life-saver when it comes to making sure you’ve filled out all the appropriate forms correctly and turn them in before their deadlines. Taking this on yourself means you run the risk of letting one of these forms fall through the cracks unnoticed, which can cause problems later or sooner than you think.
They Know All the Players
An agent that specializes in representing buyers in the purchase of new construction homes has cultivated relationships with local home builders, site agents, building superintendents, preferred loan officers and closing attorneys. These relationships can...
